Bladeboard

A fast (and sometimes dangerous) form of transport. The bladeboard is simply a metal or plastic rod 40 to 60cm in length, with several wheels mounted along it. At either end are lugs which can clip onto the bottom of suitably designed blader boots. The wheels (usually with the exception of a larger balance wheel at one end) are usually simple metal discs with quite a sharp edge. This means that the wheels can be pushed into the narrow groove which protects the power feed in many inner-city monorail systems, drawing enough current along the length of the board to power a light motor in the larger end wheel.

Bladeboards are sometimes available in sports shops, but most gang bladers will disregard these entirely. They seem to rely entirely on makeshift manufacturing by other members of their gang. In some cities, there are also a number of small, specialist shops which specialise in bladeboards. These are set up by single craftsmen, who usually have an existing reputation for making good blades. Every board will be custom-made for its owner, with many variations in wheel spacing and balance which only an expert could understand. However, most of the business of these shops is repair and maintenance - something which an experienced blader takes very seriously.
